Tom Slingsbys Australia may have triumphed in Auckland, stunning sell-out crowds by beating Spain and Emirates GBR in the three-boat Final. But its Dylan Fletchers Emirates GBR that has been propelled to the top of the 2025 Season leaderboard thanks to consecutive podium performances in Dubai and Auckland.
The team kicked off Auckland in style - winning the first race of the event before scrapping for every point amid heavy winds and gusty conditions on day two.
Elsewhere, there were multiple near-capsizes, close calls and athlete injuries as teams struggled to control their F50s in the heavy breeze. Get the lowdown from Auckland - and dont miss your chance to kick off the summer with Emirates GBR at the Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix | Portsmouth on 19-20 July. Tickets are selling fast!
